Still nearly double the price of the Ninja tho'
Damn !! I got all excited for a mo. I mean, I don't NEED any more knives, but when has Need had anything to do with knives (or bikes etc!!)

Then I googled -

:shock: :shock:

I know the reduced price is really good, but I've never spent that much on any knives :lol: :lol: And I'm still using the chef's knife I got for college :lol: :lol: :lol:

There's one in the kitchen but I very rarely use it as I worry I'd cut myself. I do use it to take the skin off fish but that's it.

I have some short, serrated Victorinox kitchen knives which I think were about £6 each and they're perfect for most of my needs.

This arrived today so thanx to Mr LB for the recommendation 👍🏻👍🏻

I can have my ‘go to’ knives at the front - and the boning knife!! I am now wondering where the filleting knife went 😵‍💫😵‍💫
Then the spreaders/spatulas and little knives at the back 😁😁

Always have been, just didn’t tell anyone and anyway, you’re all too far away to throw these (and I love my knives so not wasting them ) 🤣🤣🤣🤣

No one looks good in an open face helmet - but if you're going to wear one, might as well make sure it's as pretty as this.

My Schuberth C5 Globe in blue arrived today. I'm very happy! Can't wait to try it out at the weekend.

Airoh's off-road stuff is really good, very happy with mine. Bell has gone to the dogs a bit in the last decade or so.

They peaked (hehe) with the Moto7, at least in my opinion.

Loop Experience 2 ear plugs (snaffled on Prime Day for £25)

I've never got on with foamies, and I'm honestly too lazy to faff with fitting my expensive moulded ear plugs for short runs, plus they make my ears ache after a while 😬

These are a revelation - an absolute piece of piss to fit, really comfortable, and seem to be great quality too, and therefore I will actually use them 👍

Are you saying you don't actually wear ear plugs on a motorcycle?

Mostly. Unless I'm actually touring.
